Why would customers installing file servers cause you a problem if you
limited their throughput to the Terms and Conditions of their contract
where you would specify the amount of bandwidth that you were supplying
them and limiting them to?

I've long opposed "network neutrality" rules on grounds that it
could put most WISPs out of business. You'd be forced to live by
the same rules that the urban ILECs and CATVs do, even though your cost
of both last-mile capacity and middle mile (if rural) is much higher.
Thus you'd be required to allow customers to install file servers at
their subscriber locations, even though it's much cheaper (overall) to
have them at a fiber backbone site. Recall that Vuze, who made the
big stink, is a pR0n distributor using subscriber-site file servers and
home-user computers to undercut other CDNs on price.
I think Verizon actually favors such rules, on grounds that FiOS is
hurt
less than most others, including cable, and they'd be happy to see
WISPs
go away. (When I see them opposing it, I think of Bre'r Rabbit and
the brier patch.)
